So people say "When you are a nurse you will always have a job." I feel very discouraged because sometimes it doesn't matter who you are, what your qualifications are, how bad you want something, how...
Okay I live in California and we have some "top notch" schools such as UCLA and SDSU (so I hear). I am attending a community college and am working towards an ADN, then RN to BSN at 1 of 7 schools I...
I have been wanting to write this thread for awhile! I just want to say to all high school seniors applying to college to be a nurse and all pre-nursing students applying to nursing school: DO NOT BE...
I agree with the burnout part! In Chem. I just COULD NOT pay attention or retain information for the life of me. I took it (5 unit class) along with 15 other units. Yep, 20 units total my second...
Yep it's up to you. There is a lot to think about. I got accepted to Saint Mary's College of California and I chose the community college that I am at now over the oh so prestigious Catholic private...
YES!! This was very true in my EMT class. I studied NREMT prep-questions and when I came across a question about something that I didn't fully understand THEN, and only THEN, I cracked open the book....
I MAKE myself not study for more than 2 hours at a time. I walk away, get a snack, maybe go to the gym, or take a nap, then come back, quickly review, then move on. It also helps me to study the...
I am in an ASN program that can take 4 years (if you finish your pre-reqs. in 2 years, then its 2 years of nursing, but there is one semester wait, so it could technically take 4.5 years). I know what...

Hello! I am a prenursing student with one semester before nursing school. I have been going through a very rough time in my life due to family issues. Actually, ONGOING family issues since my...
I got my EMT about a month ago and it has been hard for me to find a job. Part of the reason why it is so hard for me is because I am 19 and most ambulance companies don't hire under 21. I am still...
Hello! I am an EMT. I am also a pre-nursing student with one more semester before nursing school! I got my EMT-B because I want to be a flight nurse (after ER experience of course) and the EMS...
I am an EMT and I referred to my A&P books ALL THE TIME during the EMT course. And whenever questions randomly arise, I refer back to those books!! Seriously? A&P is something that will ALWAYS...
Thought I would bring this up because it has been happening way too much at my school and it is my biggest pet peeve. So I took Anatomy my first semester of college. The classroom was about 90% women...
So I got a B in Chem. All the rest of my grades are A's. The program that I am applying to next semester only looks at grades in English, Anatomy, Physio., and Micro. so my grade in Chem won't effect...
My physio teacher did this! Previous students would ask to go to the bathroom and they would take notes outside and look things up or Google answers. So he added a rule to the syllabus that if you...
